Consignment · 20th Century French

Originally $7,000

The instrument
French character, in a player's hand.
This violin carries the label ‘M. COUTURIEUX’ and dates from the twentieth century. It has lived as a working concert instrument with a professional violinist who is now passing it on, which means it comes to Symphonia already played-in and settled.
The voice is unusually rich and deep, with layered colour that rewards a thoughtful bow. There is real complexity to the sound — not just a single tone but several at once — and the instrument carries a long phrase without flattening out.
